How to Fix a Leaky Pipe | Plumbing | The Home Depot

Once the water supply is shut off, decide how to fix a leaky pipe temporarily to prevent damage until a more permanent repair can be made. Find the exact source of the leak because pipe leaks in the middle of a straight run might use a quick-fix method that is different from what is needed near a pipe fitting. Discovering pipe leaks can be stressful but making a quick fix doesn’t need to be. For more tips on taking care of your home, see our Plumbing playlist: https://thd.co/2MhRi0Z
